A short summary of the contents in English of about one page. The following points should be addressed in particular:

\item Content: What is the content of this thesis? What exactly is covered in the thesis? The methodology and working method should be briefly discussed here.
\item Results: What are the results of this work? A brief overview of the most important results as a teaser to read the complete thesis.
\end{itemize}
